Lenovo 4XB7A90049

Overview

The Lenovo 4XB7A90049 is a 480GB solid state drive designed specifically for ThinkSystem servers, featuring an M.2 2280 form factor and SATA 6Gb/s interface. It delivers up to 520 MB/s sequential read and write speeds, making it a practical choice for boot volumes, operating system images, and other read-intensive tasks that require low latency and consistent performance.

This read intensive SSD uses 3D TLC NAND technology and is optimized for predictable reliability with an endurance rating of 1 drive write per day and a total of 870 terabytes written. Its compact design allows system builders to save front drive bays for larger capacity storage, fitting well in virtualized hosts, edge appliances, and lab environments.

Key features

• High sequential read and write speeds up to 520 MB/s support fast data access and system responsiveness
• Strong random IOPS performance with 90,000 for 4 KB reads and 15,000 for 4 KB writes ensures efficient handling of small data operations
• Power loss protection safeguards data integrity during unexpected outages, reducing risk of data corruption
• Thermal throttling maintains safe operating temperatures under sustained workloads, enhancing drive longevity
• End to end data protection helps maintain data accuracy throughout the storage process
• Compact M.2 2280 form factor frees up hot-swappable bays for larger drives, optimizing server storage configurations

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
